Our Mission

Our mission is to lead, mobilize, and ignite the power of philanthropy to build a racially equitable, just, and thriving region where everyone prospers.

Bequest

You may be looking for a way to make a significant gift to help further your charitable interests. A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support your favorite causes.

Beneficiary Designation

A beneficiary designation gift is a simple and affordable way to make a gift to support your favorite causes. You can designate us as a beneficiary of a retirement, investment or bank account or your life insurance policy.

IRA Charitable Rollover

An IRA charitable rollover allows individuals age 70½ or older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA.

Give Us Your Feedback

Your feedback will help us stretch every contribution even further so that together we can fulfill our mission and make a significant impact in our community.
